In Kazan, at the 10th All-Russian Forum "Development of Small Towns and Historical Settlements", a plenary session on the topic "Small Towns: Inspire. Grow. Win!" was held. The event was attended by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin also spoke at the session.

"Today, we can safely say that a culture of public space improvement has developed in our country. I often visit regions on business trips and see world-class projects that have been implemented there, which are becoming a real decoration of populated areas. It is important that this work continues. In the new national project "Infrastructure for Life", we have set specific goals. We have to improve the quality of the living environment in 2,160 key populated areas, where 70% of the country's population lives – they will become growth points," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted key areas where a comfortable urban environment became part of major changes: this includes improving the demographics in Boguchar, developing the economy and increasing the income of settlements in Tobolsk and Derbent, developing the tourism potential in Rybinsk and Belev, and reviving the cultural and historical heritage in Plyos, Suzdal, and Borovsk.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that it is necessary to pay attention to inter-municipal and inter-regional projects and develop a more strategic approach.

According to the Presidential Decree, by 2030 at least 30 thousand public areas must be improved and at least 1.6 thousand projects must be implemented – winners of the All-Russian competition for the best projects to create a comfortable urban environment.

Today, digitalization is an integral part of integrated development projects for Russian cities. Modern technologies are the key driver for creating a comfortable and safe environment for city residents. This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister – Chief of Staff of the Government Dmitry Grigorenko at the All-Russian Forum “Development of Small Towns and Historical Settlements”.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that artificial intelligence, traffic management systems, digital government services, and biometric technologies are becoming tools for integrated territorial development. Thus, in the Republic of Tatarstan, a secure access service to schools using biometrics is being tested. It will become an alternative to cards and passes. Special equipment has already been installed in 20 pilot schools in the region.

"As with any other services, the use of biometrics to enter educational institutions is strictly voluntary. Students and their parents will decide for themselves whether to connect such a service. The new technology is replacing cards and passes. Unlike a pass, it cannot be lost or given to a stranger. This means that the perimeter of the educational institution becomes even safer, monitoring of attendance is simplified, and parents will always know for sure that their child is at school," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

The service is based on Russian software and hardware solutions. All devices installed in schools are certified and approved for use by industry regulators.

The service is implemented on the basis of a single biometric system. This is a state information platform, with the help of which various services are provided. Among them are contactless payment for purchases, travel on public transport, remote opening of a business, service at the MFC, check-in to a hotel without a passport and a number of others.

Each user of the system independently manages their data. On the public services portal, you can check the validity period of biometrics or revoke consent to its processing. Biometric samples are stored in encrypted form separately from other personal data and never leave the system perimeter.

The winners of the 10th All-Russian Competition of the Best Projects for Creating a Comfortable Urban Environment and the 4th Competition for the Subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District were announced at the plenary session of the All-Russian Forum "Development of Small Towns and Historical Settlements". The plenary session was attended by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin and Minister of Construction of Russia Irek Faizullin.

"Improvement of public spaces is an important element of regional development. It not only transforms cities, but also improves the quality of life of people. An effective tool in this work has become the federal project "Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment", launched by the decision of the President. Since 2019, almost 74 thousand public and courtyard spaces have been transformed, 926 winning projects of the All-Russian competition for the creation of a comfortable urban environment have been implemented. Today, the results of the anniversary 10th All-Russian competition and the 4th competition for the regions of the Far East were summed up. 294 projects became winners, including 54 projects in the Far Eastern Federal District, which will be implemented in 2026-2027. Among the winning projects are 123 parks, 41 embankments, 42 squares, 88 streets and pedestrian zones. This means that there will be even more modern, comfortable public spaces in our country where it is pleasant to spend time with family and loved ones,” noted Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

The All-Russian competition has been organized by the Ministry of Construction of Russia since 2018 on the instructions of the President. In 2025, the rules for its holding changed: now small towns and key settlements with a population of up to 5 thousand residents, as well as historical settlements of federal and regional significance (except for cities of federal significance) can participate in it. In addition, the new rules provide for the removal of restrictions on participation in the competition for historical settlements that are administrative centers with a population of up to 300 thousand people. The expansion of the number of potential participants made it possible to include an additional 15 cities in the competition.

All applications submitted to the competition were selected by leading experts in the fields of architecture, urban development policy, economics, sociology, protection of cultural heritage sites and archeology. During the review of the projects, the expert commission paid special attention to the quality of the development of architectural and planning concepts, the preservation of cultural and historical heritage and natural landscape, as well as the use of environmentally friendly building materials. The final selection of winners was carried out by the federal competition commission headed by Marat Khusnullin.

"Thanks to the All-Russian competition, courtyards, parks, squares, embankments and pedestrian streets are annually renovated throughout the country, playgrounds and sports grounds are arranged, historical territories are developed, cultural and historical heritage sites are restored, a new generation of architects, urban planners, planners, designers and urbanists is brought up. This year, new regions that became part of Russia are taking part in the All-Russian competition for the third time: the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions submitted 25 applications, of which two became winners. During the competition, 1,609 winning projects were selected: 679 parks, 301 embankments, 262 squares, 367 streets and pedestrian zones. I would like to note that the modern urban environment is not only comfort and convenience, but also new jobs and increased commercial activity. The enormous work carried out over the past few years has helped not only to create even more comfortable, safe and beautiful spaces, but also to achieve a significant economic and social effect. Thanks to the joint work of the Government of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Construction of Russia, regions and the expert community, within the framework of the competition, 85 subjects of the Russian Federation received almost 27 thousand jobs, as well as over 6 thousand objects of entrepreneurial activity," said Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Irek Faizullin.

From 2019 to 2024, the All-Russian competitions for the best projects for creating a comfortable urban environment were held within the framework of the federal project "Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment" of the national project "Housing and Urban Environment", aimed at creating a new look for cities and renewing public spaces. Since 2025, the project has been implemented as part of the national project "Infrastructure for Life". In 2025, 19 projects – winners of the competition – were implemented.

At the Baikonur Cosmodrome, specialists from Roscosmos state corporation enterprises launched the Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle with the logo of the tenth, anniversary Eastern Economic Forum, which will be held September 3–6 in Vladivostok. The EEF is organized by the Roscongress Foundation.

"This year, the 10th anniversary Eastern Economic Forum is taking place. One of its main topics is the technological development of our country. It is impossible to imagine a strong and independent Russia without cosmonautics. In the Far East, in the Amur Region, one of the most ambitious and large-scale projects in history is being created – the Vostochny Cosmodrome. Launches of Russian launch vehicles from the Baikonur Cosmodrome continue. And today, a launch vehicle branded in honor of the EEF-2025 was launched. I am convinced that our country will move forward in its technological development. The order of the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin on the accelerated development of the Far East will be implemented in full, which will stimulate the economy and improve the quality of life of our citizens," said Deputy Prime Minister – Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Eastern Economic Forum Yuri Trutnev.

The launch vehicle launched the Bion-M No. 2 spacecraft into polar orbit – a large medical and biological laboratory. As a result, some aspects of the impact of polar orbit conditions, close to those of deep space, will be studied.

"The launch of a rocket with the symbols of the tenth anniversary Eastern Economic Forum is a landmark event that emphasizes the role of the EEF as a strategic platform for the development of the Far East and the strengthening of international cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. Over the past ten years, the forum has become an effective tool for attracting investment, implementing large infrastructure projects and creating new economic opportunities. Among other tools, the forum creates the growth dynamics that the Far East demonstrates thanks to systemic state policy and active participation of business. It also reflects the technological potential of Russia and its course for sustainable development of the macro-region. The Eastern Economic Forum continues to confirm its status as a key discussion platform where the vectors of further socio-economic progress are determined," emphasized Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President and Executive Secretary of the EEF Organizing Committee.

The main theme of the EEF this year is “The Far East – cooperation for peace and prosperity.”

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko congratulated Russians on the 80th anniversary of the domestic nuclear industry.

The official history begins on August 20, 1945, when a Special Committee was created to direct work on the use of uranium atomic energy.

The Deputy Prime Minister expressed special gratitude to the workers and veterans of the nuclear industry, scientists and teachers who train personnel for this area, and also emphasized the flagship role of Rosatom State Corporation and the Kurchatov Institute National Research Center in the development of technologies.

"As President Vladimir Putin noted, the creation of the nuclear industry in our country in 1945 was a major, significant event and a true symbol of scientific progress. This gave a powerful impetus to the development of domestic science and industry, and today Russia maintains its leading position in the field of nuclear energy. Our specialists built the world's first nuclear power plant, created the first nuclear icebreaker, and today the development of unique megascience-class installations continues. All this became possible thanks to the colossal diligence, curiosity and passion of the employees of the nuclear industry of the future, present, and I am sure, will be continued by domestic specialists in the future," noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.

For example, today the state corporation Rosatom not only builds nuclear power plants, providing clean energy to the country and the world, but also creates new materials – super-strong, environmentally friendly, helps to develop the Arctic and the Northern Sea Route, develops nuclear medicine methods to defeat incurable diseases, and develops quantum technologies to solve the global problems of humanity.

Rosatom is the world leader in the nuclear industry, operating in more than 60 countries. The company's portfolio of foreign orders for the construction of nuclear power plants includes 33 high-power units in 10 countries, as well as the world's first export project for the construction of low-power nuclear power plants – 6 units in Uzbekistan.

The Deputy Prime Minister also recalled that last year, President Vladimir Putin approved priority areas of scientific and technological development and a list of the most important science-intensive technologies. The first on this list is the area of "Technologies for creating highly efficient systems for generating, distributing and storing energy (including nuclear energy)." To develop them, the national project "New Nuclear and Energy Technologies" is being implemented since 2025.

"In order for our country to continue making breakthroughs in the field of nuclear technologies, it is important to continue to ensure a high level of personnel training. Today, almost 10 thousand students are studying in Russian universities and colleges in programs related to the nuclear industry. This year alone, almost 2.5 thousand budget places were established for them," he said.

The training of qualified specialists for the nuclear industry is also carried out within the framework of 4 advanced engineering schools and 12 clusters of the federal project "Professionalism" of the national project "Youth and Children".

In addition, universities, together with industrial partners, create scientific projects and developments. For example, within the framework of the Priority-2030 program, the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI is implementing the strategic technological project "Nuclear Technologies and New Materials". Within its framework, the development of the kilojoule energy laser installation "ELF" (Experimental Laser-Physical Installation) was launched in July.

Also, Rosatom State Corporation together with the advanced engineering school of the Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University named after R.E. Alekseev launched the first industry engineering and design school "Young Designer". It was created to train specialists in the nuclear industry. The project is focused on mastering the latest technologies and systems of operation of modern industrial complexes.

Dear friends!

Congratulations to the workers and veterans of the nuclear industry on the 80th anniversary of the Russian nuclear industry!

For eight decades, the nuclear industry has been the pride of domestic science and engineering. It is not only a reliable foundation for ensuring security, sovereignty, and socio-economic development of our country, but also a solid foundation for technological leadership, a source of inspiration and creativity for our scientists, researchers, and innovators.

We are rightfully proud that it was our country that became the birthplace of peaceful nuclear energy, which opened a new chapter in the energy industry and became the beginning of the development of a new industry.

Today, nuclear power supplies almost a fifth of Russia's electricity demand. Nuclear power plants supply light and heat to homes, schools, hospitals, and industrial enterprises from Kaliningrad to the Kola Peninsula and Chukotka.

Due to its reliability and efficiency, Russian nuclear technologies have enormous export potential. Russia is a driving force in the creation of new unique technologies in the nuclear industry and continues to expand its presence in the international market of nuclear and related technologies.

The accumulated experience of outstanding Russian scientists, a powerful scientific and technical base, an unconventional creative approach, and the enthusiasm of new generations of nuclear scientists have allowed us to be one step ahead all these years, set trends, create new directions in nuclear energy, confidently look to the future and move forward.

I wish all veterans and workers of the nuclear industry good health, new successes, discoveries and victories for the benefit of Russia!
